Does anyone have the original EQ "Blue Shield" Desktop Icon from when the game launched? I'm trying to make something for P99 utilizing this icon... if anyone has a good version of it, please post it here of PM it to me! The bigger the better (if they made anything larger than the ICO file that is).

I don't remember when they phased out the "blue shield" icon, but hopefully someone still has it. I bet I could just go back to my original installs and get it there if nobody has it readily on hand.

Thanks ahead of time!

The icon exists in your EverQuest Titanium install:

\Sony\EverQuest\skins\default\images\

The icon is upside down but you can edit it pretty easily.

The icon exists, but it won't let you assign it as an icon. It doesn't in Win7 at least.

Anyone know how to make a .ico file, and wanna make this? Would be cool if someone was able to make it larger too!

My friend has old install discs from original EQ. I'll see if I can borrow em :).

That ICO you posted is showing backwards as the one in the directory was flipped and rotated. Just a horizontal flip will fix it.

It did work, but yes the icon orientation is messed up. As FatMagic stated a horizontal flip would fix it. Other than that it works great!

Here is what I was working on, and why I needed the original EQ icon... a special icon just for P99 in the style of the original EQ icon.

1st Image - Original EQ Icon

2nd Image - New P99 Icon

I'm thinking of not necessarily using it for the launching icon, but hopefully for the Devs here to use at the site icon or even logo. Gives you that "old school" classic feel of EQ, yet keeps the P99 identity!

Now if only someone could get the angelox patcher software and tie that into the icon and auto download of the spell files/ui's we'd be cooking!
